	Moving from breeder net to Tank
AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003	I have 4 killifish fry, at least I HOPE I still have 4. They are in a 5.5G with their mother, but seperated in their breeder net. I now have a 2.5G tank empty, florescent light & airstone, but no heater or filter. If I move them into the other tank, it will be in my bedroom where the water stays about 75 degree's, it's where I keep all my betta bowls, warmest room in my house. Would I be better off to move them into the bigger barracks, or should I just continue to leave them in the breeder net until they are large enough to swim with mamma?

Depending on the type of killie, I would move the young to the 2.5 gallon with some vegetation for their comfort. Use 2 gallons of the current tank water and then new water to top it off. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

I guess they didn't make it past the "care" my friend provided over the holidays. They are happy in the 2.5G home, they have a filter in there as well on low. So hopefully this will give them more room to grow, they are very playfull.
